We begin with Tim Gunn's obligatory visit to the designers' home turf. Carol Hannah's squatting in some chick's Long Island McMansion. Irina lives in a closet in Manhattan. And Althea's designing in a studio in beautiful, exotic Dayton, Ohio.
The only real "controversy" we get is that Irina has to re-do some tee shirts she was working on because she used copyrighted images of Coney Island. How do you copyright Coney Island? Also, one of Althea's looks apparently looks like one of Irina's, but she didn't exactly copy her from Ohio... or did she?
Carol Hannah misses the first day in NYC because she has a stomach virus. Whatever, she probably ate some bad Thai food. Or maybe she was Swine Flu Patient Zero.
Tim seems to think Althea's stuff is nothing but a hot mess, and I agree, but it's hard to tell when they're just on hangers. Irina's is a LOT of black. Like, all black. And Carol Hannah's stuff has cooties.
For what I'm pretty sure is the first time ever, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia show up while the designers are working to give them some advice. It's really just generic advice though, nothing specific to their designs. Heidi shows up too, with a surprise that isn't much of a surprise if you've watched previous seasons - orders to make a 13th look. And of course they get the usual help, in the form of former contestants. Althea chooses Logan, Irina chooses Gordana, and Carol Hannah gets Christopher.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say a female wins this whole damn thing.
